¡Hola! Time has been flying by here in Madrid (as it often does when you’re having fun), and I can’t believe it’s getting close to halfway through the program.

Forty Foot JUMP!
This week in Dublin was definitely eventful. Between work and everything we did over the weekend, I feel like I experienced a lot of “this is something I never thought I would be doing” moments. Over the weekend, a group of us went to the Forty Foot, which is a swimming spot just outside of…
Fufu, Manti, and a Sick Day in Berlin
